Canvas is a powerful tool, there are lots of ways you can add content. In this guide, we're going to focus on the most common (and easiest method) for adding content from Blended Teaching.

Note: If at any point you're struggling, just reach out to us through the bot or email us at help@blended-teaching and we can usually hop on a zoom with you within a few minutes.

Most of the universities we work with are fully integrated with Blended Teaching, meaning that all Blended Teaching content appears inside Canvas, students never link out to an external platform.

Students love this. If you're not already fully integrated with Blended Teaching, or you're not sure, just ask us through the Bot and we can tell you.

To add content you first need to ensure that the Blended Teaching App is available in your LMS. To do this, click on "settings" and go to the tab called "Apps". Then click on "View App Configurations". The page will show you a list of installed Apps in alphabetical order. Blended Teaching should be in that list. If not, we'll need to install Blended Teaching as an app. Click here for separate instructions on how to do that. If you see the App, carry on to step 2.

In the "Home" screen, go to the relevant module you would like to add the content to, and click the "+" button on the module. This will open a box asking you to "Add Item...". There is a dropdown menu near the top that says "Add" and then a dropdown menu that probably has pre-selected "Assignment". Cilck on this to open the dropdown menu and select "External Tool". It will give you a list of tools you can open (these are the Apps from step 1). Select Blended Teaching from the list of potential apps.

At this point, you should be able to see your classbooks in a window on Canvas. Select the classbook that relates to the class you are adding content to. Once in, select chapters that you want to add. You can add them one at a time, or multiple at a time. It's up to you. Then click the "Add Chapters" button, and it will drop them into your Canvas.

Finally, now that the content is in Canvas, you can move it to the location you want, add any settings that are helpful, and if you're ready, publish it for us.
